Build up to WW3 - Putin orders RUSSIAN TROOPS to WITHDRAW from UKRAINE BORDER
Russian president tells forces on 'training exercises' near border to return to their home bases
Vladimir Putin has ordered Russian forces on the border with Ukraine back to their bases, the Kremlin has announced. It is the third announcement of a Russian troop withdrawal since the buildup on the border started in March, and experts said this time it might actually happen.
Previous withdrawal announcements have not been borne out by developments on the ground, Nato has said. On 28 April Russia's defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, told his US counterpart, Chuck Hagel, that Russian forces had returned to their places of permanent deployment, and on 7 May Putin said Russia had pulled back from the border.
Nato said after both instances it had not seen evidence of a pullback, and last week the US government published satellite photos that it said showed Russian forces still massed near the Ukrainian border.
On Monday the Kremlin said in a statement on its website that it was pulling back forces from three regions along the Ukrainian border. "In connection with the completion of the routine springtime training phase for troops that involved their deployment to training grounds in the Rostov, Belgorod and Bryansk regions, among others, the president of Russia gave the command to the defence minister to return the troops taking part in the exercises to their home bases," the Kremlin said.

A Nato officer reportedly said on Monday that it had seen no sign of troop movements. However, Russian defence experts said troops would need at least 24 hours to begin moving. The fact that Russia's national security council held a special meeting with Putin on Monday also lent weight to the announcement. russia troops ukraine border army "military exercise" soldiers base war ww3 "world war 3" tactical peace russian crisis putin order drill drills future battle history future economy east west relationship friends u.s.

Following two days of propaganda centered upon dubious photographs the junta in Kyiv and the war machine media in the United States insist proves the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine, The New York Times has issued a retraction. It is buried on page A9 of the newspaper.
Earlier this week, Academi, the mercenary successor to Blackwater, told the German newspaper Zeit Online it does not have personnel on the ground in Ukraine assisting the junta in its effort to roll back opposition.
Bild am Sonntag, the largest-selling Sunday newspaper in Germany, reported last Sunday the presence of 400 mercenaries from the company were operating in Ukraine. The report followed an announcement in early May that the CIA and FBI are in the country assisting the regime.
Former CNN Intelligence Correspondent and current Vice President at Academi, Suzanne Kelly, told the German news website her company does not have personnel in Ukraine and does not plan to send any. She characterized media reports linking Academi to Blackwater as "incredibly irresponsible."
Academi is in fact linked to Blackwater and its successor, XE Services. In December, 2001 The Washington Post ran a story with the headline "Ex-Blackwater firm gets a name change, again."
Beijing may be considering a military response to anti-China protests that have erupted in Vietnam over the last two weeks, with reports of an "endless stream" of PLA troops, tanks, missile launchers and other heavy artillery heading to Pingxiang city, where the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979 began.

Putin orders troops away from Ukraine border

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered thousands of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border to return to their usual bases, according to his spokesman.
Dmitry Peskov told Russian news outlets late Saturday in Sochi that Putin had ordered approximately 17,600 troops to return home from Rostov, a southern region that borders east Ukraine, where pro-Russian insurgents have been battling government troops since April.
The Kremlin has said that troops stationed in Rostov were participating in drills, but Ukraine and the West have repeatedly accused Russia of fueling the insurgency with arms, expertise, and fighters, and have slapped Moscow with sanctions in response to its moves in the region.
Previous Russian claims of troop withdrawals have been countered by NATO. In March, Russia announced a troop withdrawal of only one battalion — a unit of about 500 — while NATO insisted that tens of thousands remained near the border.
In the spring, the U.S. and NATO said that Russia had deployed about 40,000 troops near the border, though Putin ordered the troops back to their home bases in late May. While the U.S. and NATO did confirm those moves, in August they said Russia was again bolstering its forces in the region and that Russia had allowed troops and vehicles to cross the border to assist the separatists.
The withdrawal may be a sign of good will ahead of Putin's trip to Milan on Thursday, where he is set to meet with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and European Union leaders.
As EU and U.S. sanctions against Russia begin to bite and economic growth falters, Moscow may also hope that a troop withdrawal will bolster the chance that Western nations will revoke those measures. Late last month, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the EU was still not considering removing the sanctions because of ongoing fighting in east Ukraine.
In Donetsk, the city center was quiet but explosions still rang out in the direction of the airport, where fighting between government troops and pro-Russian forces has waged despite a cease-fire declared Sept. 5.

Putin Orders Russian Troops Away from Ukraine Border

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered more than 17,000 troops to withdraw from an area near the Ukrainian border as he prepares to meet with Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko.
A Kremlin spokesman said the Russian troops spent the past few months training in the Rostov region, which is located across the border from the areas in southeastern Ukraine where pro-Russian rebels have been battling government forces.
Poroshenko said Saturday that he and Putin would hold talks later this week on the sidelines of an Asia-Europe summit in Milan.
The Ukrainian leader warned of difficult negotiations, while telling reporters the country was "very close" to settling a gas dispute with Moscow.
Russia shut off gas deliveries to energy-dependent Ukraine in June over what Moscow said were more than $5 billion in unpaid energy bills. The cutoff raises the specter of significant shortages in Kyiv and beyond, as the predictably harsh Eurasian winter approaches.
Ukraine defense minister resigns
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko accepted on Sunday the resignation of his embattled defense minister, Valery Heletey, who had been under criticism since August when Ukrainian forces suffered heavy losses at Ilovaysk, east of the main rebel-held eastern city of Donetsk.
Kyiv says more than 100 Ukrainian soldiers and members of volunteer battalions were encircled and killed in the Ilovaysk area in an unexpected attack by Russian forces supporting the separatists.
Poroshenko had appointed Heletey, a former head of a presidential bodyguard unit, only in July. He hopes to present a new candidate to parliament Monday.
Heletey, 47, drew criticism almost immediately after his appointment when he claimed Ukrainians would see a future victory parade in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula Russia annexed in March.
Quieter on frontlines
Meanwhile, Ukraine defense spokesman Andriy Lysenko said attacks by pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's embattled east appeared to be subsiding. Speaking Saturday in Kyiv, he said Ukraine forces were ready to withdraw heavy weaponry from the front where rebels and Ukrainian troops have battled for months.
Separately, rebel leader Oleksandr Zakharchenko told reporters in Donetsk that separatists could begin a similar frontline artillery withdrawal this week.
Pro-Russian rebels launched their rebellion in April, weeks after pro-Western protesters in Kyiv drove Russian-leaning Viktor Yanukovych from the Ukraine presidency.
Western governments have accused the Kremlin of directly supporting the rebellion, and have hit Moscow with a series of economic sanctions in response.
For its part, Russia has denied direct involvement in the uprising, which has claimed more than 3,500 lives.

Pres. Putin orders withdrawal of Russian troops from border

Russia's president has ordered the withdrawal of thousands of troops stationed near the Ukrainian border.
According to Russian media reports, Vladimir Putin has called on 17-thousand and-600 soldiers to return to bases because their training period is over. The order comes ahead of a planned meeting between Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, Petro Poroshenko. The talks will be held on the sidelines of the Asia-Europe Meeting summit in Italy on Friday. Poroshenko is expected to discuss Ukraine’s gas dispute with Putin ahead of winter. Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in June, because Kiev failed to settle its debts. Ukraine is a transition point of Russian gas supplies to Europe.

Putin orders troop pullback from Ukraine border

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his defence minister to pull thousands of troops from the border with Ukraine, the Kremlin said ahead of key talks on a fragile truce in the ex-Soviet country.
"The head of state has tasked the defence minister with beginning to bring troops back to their permanent bases," the Kremlin said late Oct. 11evening.
The Kremlin said the order meant that 17,600 servicemen, who had in the summer participated in military drills in the southern Rostov region on the border with Ukraine, would be pulled back.
Defence minister Sergei Shoigu received the order after reporting that "summertime training on military ranges of the Southern military district is over," the Kremlin said.
The late Oct. 11 meeting between Putin and his defence minister took place after the president chaired a meeting of his national security council, said the Kremlin, without providing further details.
Putin is expected to meet Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko for key talks on the sidelines of a Asia-Europe forum in Milan on Oct. 17.
Kiev reported that pro-Moscow rebel attacks had subsided and Poroshenko said for his part the two would discuss the fragile truce agreed last month.

RUSSIA PREPARES FOR WAR - Putin Orders Snap Military Drills on NATO Border

RUSSIA PREPARES FOR WAR - Putin Orders Snap Military Drills on NATO Border
Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered snap military drills for Russian armed forces in the Baltic region to test Russia’s “battle-readiness”, a ministry of defence spokesperson told Russian news agency Interfax today.
“A self-sufficient, multi-purpose army of air, sea and land units was assembled in the period of less than a day in the Kaliningrad area, consisting of units from all branches of the armed forces,” Andrey Kartapolov the lieutenant general of the Russian army said.
The drill took place between the 5th and 10th December, as servicemen were called to assume battle-stations in Kaliningrad without warning at 7am Moscow time on the 5th December. he drill included the Russian navy’s Baltic fleet, troops from the western military district and a full array of military aviation units, all of whom are designated as defence organs entrusted with repelling attacks from Europe.
The drills consisted of 9,000 servicemen, 642 military vehicles, including 250 tanks and APCs, over 100 artillery units, 55 warships and the Iskander ballistic missile system.
“The air force and air defence units were tasked with covering important military and government targets and supporting ground troops from the air, as well as practicing hitting enemy units from the air,” Kartapolov said.
The Baltic fleet engaged in practice fire drills and defending Russia’s maritime borders under the scenario of a sea invasion, Kartapolov added.
According to Russia’s ministry of defence all units involved in the drills showed “extraordinary qualities” and proved “hugely capable and battle-operational”.
Kaliningrad is Russia’s westernmost territory, bordering EU and NATO members Poland and Lithuania. It holds immense strategic importance to Russia as it is an exclave, separate from the rest of Russia, and remains one of Russia’s most heavily militarised areas. It is also Russia’s major Baltic seaport.
The drills come after months of tension on Russia’s borders with the Baltic and Scandinavian countries which has seen an unprecedented surge of sea and airspace violations. russia putin russian army war "world war 3" WWIII troops "u.s. army" navy "air force" prepare military combat "cold war" forex ruble "forex trading" money bank savings "savings account" future humanity 2014 2015 u.s. usa america "united states" power control elite prepper "emergency supplies" emergency attack "war games" game games force news media entertainment trends trendy footage tank drone exercise drill winter christmas "elite nwo agenda" military industrial complex show of force obama bilderberg china chinese underground nuke nuclear false flag attack end game collapse debt reset lindsey williams louis farrakhan shtf prediction isis isil attack 9/11 warning blood moon sydney david icke alex jones infowars gerald celente jsnip4 montegraph
The last en masse drill of units from Russia’s western district took place at the height of the Ukrainian crisis in August when over 5,000 servicemen took part in practice near the Ukrainian border. Russia’s minister of defence, Sergey Shoygu told officers then they need to “be battle-ready at all times”.
The anti-dollar contingent around the world who have preached that since Russia already trades its own currencies independently from the dollar and China has been trying to make the same move, are spinning the blogs claiming this is a “Zionist banker” conspiracy and this proves that all nations are tired of debt making Zionist banking. Well aside from the prejudice, this is not about merely debt and banking. I warned in the Greatest Bull Market that during a massive Sovereign Debt Crisis, there is nothing that remains standing. This is a complete control-alt-delete. The Russian central bank tried to shore up the currency with a rate hike to 17%, but when that proved ineffectual, confidence in the bank evaporated and the sellers piled on. This is an example of the problems we face with all governments. Right now, people generally look to government with a demigod perspective that they are in charge and all powerful. I have been behind the curtain and been on the other side of phones calls from various central banks in the middle of a panic We are witnessing the unraveling of the world economy because we have pervasive corruption in government with political manipulations that are only concerned about winning the next election. There is no plan here for the long-term. Consequently, additional proof that this is not limited to Russia is just open your eyes. There is a crisis in ALL EMERGING markets. As the dollar rises and commodities decline, this is part of the cycle that sets in motion the Sovereign Debt defaults.

Ukraine crisis:Putin 'orders Russian troop pullback'
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered thousands of troops stationed near the Ukrainian border to return to their bases, Russian media report.
Mr Putin's spokesman said about 17,600 soldiers on training exercises in the Rostov region would be pulled back.
Russia has previously announced troop withdrawals that Nato and the US say were not actually carried out.
Russia has been accused of supplying troops and weapons to separatist rebels in east Ukraine - claims it denies.
The latest order comes ahead of a planned meeting between Mr Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Friday.
Ukrainian troops have been fighting pro-Russia rebels in the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk since April, in a conflict that has killed more than 3,500 people.
The two sides agreed a truce on 5 September, but fighting has continued, especially in and around Donetsk.
"[Mr] Putin has ordered to start the returning of troops to regular station," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in quotes carried by Interfax and Ria Novosti news agencies.
Mr Peskov said this was because the period of training was completed.
Mr Putin made similar statements about withdrawing troops from the Ukrainian border in March and May.
However, Nato and US officials said they saw no evidence of soldiers being moved.
Correspondents say the deployment of Russian troops on Ukraine's border is seen as a powerful tool designed to threaten the government in Kiev.
Difficult talks
Meanwhile, Mr Putin and Mr Poroshenko are expected to meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) summit in Italy on Friday.
Mr Poroshenko told reporters: "I don't expect the talks will be easy."
"Russia's role in the issue of providing peace... is difficult to overestimate," he added.
Mr Poroshenko said he also hoped to discuss Russia and Ukraine's gas pricing dispute.
Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in June, saying the Kiev government had not settled its debts.
Ukraine could face gas shortages in the winter if the dispute is not resolved.
